100 Day Challenge Take 2

sarsief

Well, am coming up to the end of my hundred days and only made one blip so far ... and I don't know if I really consider it a blip as I made a conscious decision to buy the crisps and chocolates for a long weekend away that had been planned for ages!

Am worried that I will return to my bad habits once the 100 days is over though, so may need to extend my challenge with a few tweaks.

Well done to everyone!

10 days to go.

Have managed pinching "family" aqueous cream as moisturiser, and have to say it is ok, but am going to treat myself next week to new day moisturiser with spf and a new night cream. Excitement!!!!!

*Jellie*

I'm still on track for my trial run. Looking forward to being able to do a full 100 day challenge! Will there be one running from end of this one?

Well today I have bought my first body lotion in *ages* and I'm quite pleased with myself because I ran out yesterday
Need to pop to Boots tomorrow and get OH some aftershave, plus my £1 mascara if they have it and some heat protector spray for my hair... again, I will only be buying what I need and not stockpiling like I would normally

Forgot to add that as well as the minging body lotion, I have finished two travel sized Crabtree and Evelyn body washes, and C&E hand cream... and OH has used another two shower gels and one hair gel.... the cupboard is starting to look nicely bare! lol

I need to bow out of this challenge as I completely blew it not long ago with weeks worth of indulging myself in chocolate and red bull.... . I'm now back on straight and narrow as the above mentioned really don't go with my fitness and fat busting regime. But 100 days seems to be just that tad too long a time for me without any goodies. Good luck to everyone else though, it's nearly the end isn't it?

Down hill to the end now everyone!!

Just had lunch at work that I brought with me - raided the fridge for the weekend's left overs.

I make Friday the last day?

I need to restart my 2nd 100 day challenge again. I mentally have fallen off the wagon. In reality, not too badly fallen off.

BLIPS ordered a Clientele kit last week from QVC as convinced myself I needed another neck cream when this one I currently use runs out. Cost £45 plus P+P.

Also ordered a Wild Organics Discovery Set of a new totally organic range in small sizes convincing myself I would use them on holiday. Cost apporx £18 plus P+P. Then it arrived and all I could think was 'send it back you don't need it'.

I then caved in and bought a rather lovely silver ring in a heart design with the word 'FORGIVE' inscribed on the inside. Expensive at £55 plus P+P. Loved the inscribed word inside then the cost made me wince when it arrived. Can't decide whether to keep it or not. The cost was split over 2mths.

This is a lesser version of how I used to spend before and I am scared I am returning to how I was before. Haven't returned anything yet and need to do this

Mentally I am finding it difficult to keep my motivation levels up for this. I keep saying to myself I am not strong enough to do this without this challenge. Then my behaviour reinforces my old ways. I keep finding myself in the hair/skincare sections of the supermarket looking for bargains (somewhere I never visited before). I don't know what has happened to my commitment to this challenge when it worked so well for me before.

I am 27 days into this challenge and I feel I have not committed to it like I did before. I think I need to restart at Day 1 when you restart your own challlenges. It was difficult the first time then got easier some ways in. It has never been harder to overcome the messages in my head as this!

Positively, cleared out 2 make up bags and my skincare stash drawer and decided brutally that I would never use this things that were only lighly used at most or even new. Listed on ebay to a fairly good response and about half plus skincare are all going to their new homes today. That is £64 made from these things that I would never use again and probably throw away at some point. At least a positive behaviour change made there :rolleyes:

Need to make to connection with emptying stashes being a good thing and not to refill the spaces with something else.

Why can't I learn, why did it work better for me the first time and then felt like an impossible hill this time? Maintaining the change is the hard bit, change itself was easier in the end.

Any comments/ideas will be gratefully read!
